In the manga I don't really care for Elsie (Elsie don't even crack my top 5 list), but her cuteness is shooting over the roof in the anime. Anyone has the same impression?

It isn't only about cuteness, but also demeanor.
In the manga, Elsee was a bit too "chibi/SD"-ed, which doesn't really give her any weight in term of characterization.
Of course, being limited with panels, characterization in a manga is more challenging, but compared to Keima, Elsee never felt that close to something else than a mere "moe blob" and helpless brat in the manga.

Meanwhile, I think the change of design, the animation and the subtle difference in her reactions makes her more devoted. Well it is hard to explain, talk about a vague opinion of mine.
tl;dr: elsee is vastly improved in the anime.

She goes all blush moe from time to time. You just have to ignore the fact that Haqua gets way more screentime compared to elsie's blobby ways of appearing for the most part

Spoiler for manga spoiler:

Umm, spoiler tags, please? I mean, Hakua will probably be introduced at the end of the second season so...

Overall Elsie gets more appearances. Only lately does she play a rather minor role but in general she every so often pops up, the thing is that her appearances feel kind of insignificant. Also, we should look forward to her role as Kanon so hopefully we'll see her more often.
Though I'm afraid that she will have to replace Kanon might completely result in the opposite, that there will be even more focus on Keima+Hakua team which I don't mind personally but yeah.

From what I understand, Keima actually found the food to be rather acceptable. As in, taste.
He doesn't have reason to praise her as a lie if it really tasted bad, because then his reaction from before would have remained.
Now for the digesting, I think his stomache was going through a Resident Evil: Extinction.

It doesn't matter but I would like to think that she is not 1000 years, I hope it to still be a 3-digits number.lol I don't know why though.
Also, more than punishment, it's more like she is simply bad at everything she does so instead of bringing trouble to anyone, she was supposed to not get in the way and just do the dirty work.
Though even at the cleaning task does she stay clumsy. XD

Most likely a lot older than 300 years... at least around 1000 years or somesuch, so those 300 years cleaning don't bother her much. I wonder what she did to get 300 years cleaning as a punsihment?

She was simply assigned to do that, she was not punished or anything...

Spoiler for ..bad joke, don't open if can't stand one...:

The system down there in Hell is probably communism with an add of royal families lol, no pun intended. There's even more evidences indicating so in the manga
And I'm quite (ok, still a bit off , but heading there) a socialist my self. So don't take it so seriously

I seriously doubt that... the way she talks about, it was most likely a punishment. Just look at how happy she is that's she's finally released from her cleaning and can go to earth to hunt loose souls with the "Capturing God".

Spoiler for damn bad joke indeed:

Communism with royal families? That's the most absurd thing I've heard in a long time
Comunism seeks to abolish any inequalities and all class differences. It's strongly opposed to royal families of any sort, because historically, those were the ones who were exploiting the common people.

Watch the prologue and episode 2. Elsie was never punished. She just got promoted from cleaner to spirit hunter. The reason she was happy of being a spirit hunter was because she can finally follow in her older sister footsteps.

It's hard to explain without spoiling any future events. But let's just say I have a reason to claim so (I could misinterpret it or be wrong through if new events come up)
It's hell after all, there are things that's not quite like human society

Watch the prologue and episode 2. Elsie was never punished. She just got promoted from cleaner to spirit hunter. The reason she was happy of being a spirit hunter was because she can finally follow in her older sister footsteps.

I realized (after watching that) that Elsie must be quite a young demon.

I agree that Elsie in the anime its a lot cuter that in the manga, in the last one she's only portrayed in numerous Chibi drawings, so in this case instead as a protagonist its more like she's only a side character, its like another guy said here that the change of art direction went good for her, she got an upgrade when making the conversion to anime.
